1. The backyard is littered with mountains of junk and trash and causing mosquitos to proliferate. 2. Engines and car parts are leaking oil into the soil. HAND went there before but the owners covered all their trash with a tarp to hide it. They have a lot of toxic material on this property. 3. A man and woman who were just convicted of methamphetamine moved their RV right next to my house and are leaving trash and junk everywhere. Can someone ask them to move this?

After my Thursday pick up my trashcan has been left by the Sanitation department knocked over on my driveway. I am writing about this issue because for the past three weeks my trashcan has been left knocked over and I am concerned that it will break or be hit by a car coming down High Street in the morning. If the trashcan is destroyed is it City property that will be replaced? Or, is it my property and I will be forced to purchase a new one? I have not taken a picture, but probably will be able to tomorrow morning. I appreciate that this is not an easy job, but am hoping that more care can be taken to put my trashcan back on my driveway and not in the bushes next to the driveway where the ground is uneven.

I live in a row of townhouses in the Summit Woods neighborhood. We're serviced by two Rays trash dumpsters in the road behind our houses. They have not been picked up in over two weeks and the trash is piling up in a gross and unhealthy way (contractors and college students are also driving in to dump their trash overnight which is making everything worse). I called Rays this morning and they said they can't service these dumpsters because of the snow. I explained that they hadn't been serviced for a week or more before the storm and they disputed this and said there is nothing they can do to help. Is there anything the city can do to help us? There are a lot of families in our neighborhood with small kids and this has become an ongoing health as well as an eyesore issue for us.

I live on West Ezekiel Drive in Bloomington, which is part of the Summit Woods HOA. I've owned my home at this address for over three years, long before the rest of the neighborhood was developed. Since the neighborhood has filled in, the townhouses on my street have not been served by Bloomington city trash or recycling, leaving residents and nearby students in an apartment complex to pile trash in two hastily placed dumpsters in the drive behind our row of homes. As of tonight, the dumpsters are, once again, overflowing with trash, with full trash bags and loose trash blowing around our back yards and flocks of black birds feeding on the scraps. I have three children who often play outside, and several of my neighbors also have young children as well. Not only is this situation an on-going eyesore, but it is also dangerous and a sanitation risk for residents and families in the neighborhood. The city of Bloomington has told us that since this is a private street, there is nothing they can do to help. I’m writing to ask if you will help us address this immediate mess and also help us find a long-term solution to this perpetual problem. All of the homeowners on this street pay thousands of dollars in HOA fees every year only to see our street overrun with trash, which, ultimately, will depress property values and/or resale potentials. This situation is unacceptable and I'm hoping you to help us hold the HOA accountable and also help us find a new, more reliable and sanitary solution for the dumpsters. Every other house in our development has curb-side trash and recycling, including units literally across the street from us. I have reached out to Summit Woods HOA numerous times and they have never returned my calls or emails. Thank you so much for your help. You're welcome to call or email me if you have further questions. Richard Barnett scbarnet@indiana.edu 919-559-6282

This is the back of BDLC. Their address is 1807 S Highland Ave but the problem area is in the back on Covey Lane. A television and wood pallets have been sitting next to the dumpster for nearly a year. Recently a plastic slide has been added to the mess. I would appreciate it being removed as it is an eyesore.

This trash container, on the west side of S Covey Lane, in Front of the Life Designs duplexes, has been on the side of the road for several weeks. Not sure if the person moved or if they have just stopped bringing it back after pickup.
